A Vision of Hands Coming Together
I saw a vision of hands descend from heaven.
I saw the hands begin to unite as the communities across the country decide to let go of their barriers.
I saw hands that came and scooped up the naked and fed the hungry.
I saw the vision that Dr. King had spoken of.
I saw races of every tribe and nation sit at one table and begin to break bread.
I saw the hands that bind and form a degree of one to progress.
I saw a child reach for the hand of an African /American man and ask him for guidance.
I saw millions of hands come together and begin to shout for freedom and liberty and equality of all.
I saw the hands form a circle that encompassed every man, woman and child.
I heard a voice say “hands that build together, grow together, stay together.”
Hands, God gave us these beautiful hands.
Hands that produce awareness of peace.
Hands, God made these hands in his own image.
HANDS!
